Bapu and his band of marchers left Bhatgam at 6 o'clock in the morning as usual to go to Sandhier. At the beginning of the march, before leaving the Ashram, Bapu had weighed 102 pounds. But his health had improved so much during these 19 days of marching that his weight had increased to 106 pounds.
At 3.30, a public meeting took place and Bapu again gave the same message of the importance of breaking the salt law and the importance of Swadeshi khadi and abstinence from alcohol. A group of businessman from Mumbai had come to meet Bapu they asked Bapu that since he had declared the boycott of British goods, would it be okay if they imported goods from Japan and sold them in India? Bapu laughed and said that what he meant by boycott of British good was that they should boycott all foreign goods, because foreign goods were killing India’s industry and that was a crime against poor of India and so it didn't matter whether they were British goods or Japanese goods, what mattered was that they were made outside and the benefits and the profits incurred to the people of other nations rather than to our own nation and our own people’. His advice to the industrialists was to produce in India using Indian raw materials and using Indian labour and for benefiting the poor of India. Apart from purses of donations and gifts given by the villagers, a young girl of the village pulled off a gold ring from her finger and presented it to Bapu. Bapu held it as one of the most precious gifts he had received.
At 6 in the evening, Bapu and his band of marchers left Sandhier and marched towards the village of Delad. Bapu’s lecture in Delad was scheduled at 8 o'clock and over 5000 people had gathered at the venue from 6 o'clock in the evening waiting patiently for Bapu to arrive. While delivering his lecture, Bapu kept spinning khadi on the spindle called Takli, he told the people ‘instead of wasting time sitting listening to me, if all of you adopt the Takli and spin cotton, my meetings would become productive’. Bapu had accepted 5 more resignations here. The public meeting ended at 10 and then Bapu and his volunteers could rest for the night.
The next day 31st march was Monday, the day of silence and rest and so Bapu and his platoon rested at the village of Delad
